More quotes by Sara Blakely

  • "I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating.

  • "Don't solicit feedback on your product, idea or your business just for validation purposes.

It can stop a lot of multimillion-dollar ideas in their tracks in the beginning."

  • "I'd get kicked out of buildings all day long, people would rip up my business card in my face. It's a humbling business to be in. But I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I cut the feet out of those pantyhose and I knew I was on to something. This was it."

  • "My revenue was $4 million my first year in business, off of one $20 item."
